"Powder is essential in keeping wet formulations such as foundation on your face, and if the appearance of skin ageing bothers you, then the right pressed powder is your ally. Shine and greasiness in the wrong places, such as on the chin, nose and under the eyes, is more ageing and a quality powder will not only mattify it, but can simultaneously reflect light and impart greater smoothness."
"I've recently been enjoying Saie's new Slip Tint Undetectable Baked Setting Powder (26). This is a sensible choice if you've previously been scared off, since it adds the sheerest veil of airy, very natural-looking powder and takes the edge off shine rather than removing it completely. If you've previously loved (the, in my opinion, perfect) MAC Mineralise Skinfinish Natural powder (34) but are keen to lose the talc, this gives that same flattering eggshell finish without it."
"For dull complexions, I would enthusiastically recommend Fenty's new brightening shades of their classic pressed powder. Bright Fix Instant Brightening + Blurring Powder (27) delivers on its name. I particularly love the lavender shade to wake up my undereyes, but as is standard with Fenty, the shade range caters for everyone. It's incredibly finely textured, noticeably blurs pores, and held up in the recent spell of hot, humid weather."
Modern pressed powders can be talc-free, softly blurring in finish, and frequently contain moisturizing ingredients. Powder is essential for keeping wet formulations like foundation in place and works to control shine on the chin, nose and under-eye area. Quality powders mattify unwanted greasiness while reflecting light to impart smoother-looking skin. Lightweight baked or undetectable powders add a sheer veil that reduces shine without removing natural luminosity. Certain powders offer brightening and blurring effects, with lavender tones to revive under-eyes and finely textured formulas that blur pores and withstand hot, humid conditions.
